Experience has shown improved returns when used in the first 150 days of lactation for high yielding cows or in the diets of prolific milking and breeding ewes and goats. For best results consider feeding a rumen-protected protein source in addition, e.g. SoyPass.

Up to 5% is recommended in manufactured complementary feeds. It is best introduced to the ration over a period of a few days and it should be mixed with other feed materials before feeding.

Availability, handling and storage

Golden Flake; is available all year round, and can be delivered direct to farm in 25kg and 600kg bags or in pallet multiples of 1.2 tonnes. The minimum order quantity is one pallet delivered (1.2 tonnes). In order to keep Golden Flake in the best possible condition, it should be stored in dry, well-ventilated buildings. Whilst the product will not heat of its own accord, care should be taken to keep it out of direct sunlight and at a maximum warehouse temperature of 35 degrees.

Pallets should not be stacked more than two high and there should be a gap between the pallets to allow for air circulation. If very hot conditions (over 35 degrees) should persist, it is advisable to remove the shrink-wrapping and the pallets should be broken down.
